What Are the Most Popular Turfs for Each Purpose?

Artificial grass turf is cropping up in more and more areas. If you don't look closely, you may not even be aware that what you're standing on isn't real turf.

Artificial grass turf is gaining in popularity for any number of reasons:
- It's virtually hassle-free. You'll never have to mow, weed, or reseed again.
- It looks great year-round - there's no dealing with brown, dead grass in the winter.
- Mud will be a thing of the past, and you can use the turf immediately after it rains.
- Artificial turf is highly durable, and can hold up to high traffic that grass can't.
- With no need for sunlight, artificial turf can be used indoors and out, as well as in areas of poor soil quality where grass doesn't grow well.

There are countless other potential uses for artificial turf, but let's take a look at some of the products that are best for each type of use.
